The Rasmuson Foundation in Anchorage, Alaska, has announced grants totaling more than $16 million in support of 30 projects, programs, and initiatives. 

With its latest grants, the foundation has committed more than $500 million since 1955. Recipients include a marketplace in downtown Kodiak, new opportunities for Alaska fishermen, and two additional seasons of the PBS animated children’s show Molly of Denali.

“Alaska’s nonprofits, tribes, and local governments work hard every day to help their neighbors and make life better in immeasurable ways,” said Rasmuson Foundation president and CEO Diane Kaplan. “We are so proud to partner with organizations that build clinics to ensure quality health care, that help children grow and thrive with playgrounds and sports fields, that take care of those who are unhoused and can get on their feet with a little support.”
